This is one of the most thought provoking films i've ever seen.

Walking away from his family, friends and life, Chris McCandless (Emile Hirsch) goes it alone on a voyage of self discovery in an attempt to become more connected with nature and avoid the grinds of modern culture such as careers which he describes as a "21st century invention."

Emilie Hirsch is amazing throughout, as are the majority of the cast in fact. Including Kristen Stewart (Twilight, Welcome to the Rileys) and a small role from Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers, The Break-up)

The plot is strong and keeps you gripped from beginning to end through the highs and lows of Chris's incredibly tough story.
Seriously worth a watch.

The soundtrack for this movie is mind blowing, created in it's entirety by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam exclusively for the motion picture. You can find it on Spotify here - open.spotify.com/album/0AF0eSjB3atcLpJ7gQBop5
